Estimating performance parameters from the acoustic waveform of the violin

Friday, April 4, 3:15 PM, CCRMA Library

In this friday's seminar I wish to talk about the following:

• My ongoing project on inferring control inputs to a musical instrument based on discriminant analysis. Please see

  http://ccrma/~arvindh/pprs/icme03.pdf

  for the paper that is going to be presented at IEEE ICME 03. It has an abstract and references which may be useful. I will present the ideas from this basic paper as well as discuss the numerous areas for future improvement which I have in mind.

• I will also give an overall 'research update' and talk about what research I plan to pursue on a long-term basis. Comments and suggestions will be appreciated. I am interested basically in an Analysis -> Feature extraction -> "Resynthesis from scratch" system for processing music/audio signals using musical models and acoustic signal models.

• An update on my latest thoughts on South Indian music will be given.

All of the above topics may be stretched, compressed, truncated or even changed depending on time and, most importantly, my level of preparation. ;-)
